Prickly Ash Bitters is an unfailing cure
for all diseases originating in hillary de-
rangements caused by the malaria of mias
matte countries. No other medicine now
on sale will so effectually remove the dis
turbing elements, and at the same time
tone up the whole system. 1t is sure and
safe in its action.

Pro and Con.

Several attacks have been made ON the
statements made by Attorney General
Hogg, as gotten from the comptroller's
office, which we're made in his article when
he announced his position. Again and
again from the stump has the announce
ment been made that no such figures as
we're stated by Mr.. Hogg could be found
in the comptroller's Office.
Mr.. Hogg, in order to set the question
at rest, applied to Mr.. Mccall for an
official statement of the revenue and ex-
penses resulting from the sale of liquors
and beer in this state, and it is here given:

Ithaoa's Terrible Calamity

the citizens Of Ithaca and vicinity were
startled by a sudden ami terrific crash
which led them TO believe that WcWth-

Wrongly Applauded.

To men possessed of the average
amount Of common sense. the feats of dar-
ing which are performed by persons who
are eager to as,onish the world, seem ex-
tremelv reckless. The unsuccessful at
tempt to swim Niagara Falls and later the
successful passage over them by the two
men in barrel. the several jumps from
the Brooklyn Bridge aud other acts re.
corded during the past few years, must be
considered venturous and fool-hardy. 1t
can hardly be believed that there exist
those persons who are so hard-pushed for
money, or SO hard-up for means to gain
notoriety who would risk life in such rash
performances. But as if to cap the climax

The proposition that has been made for
holding national convention of delegates
from the various republican clubs of the
country in New York city this fall is a
Commendable one. Within the last
twelve month there has been a surprising
growth of republican clubs. and there has
been displayed an increasing tendency to
conduct political work through agencies.
This has been especially noticeable here
in Massachusetts, where the numerous
clubs that have been recently organized
have social rs we'll as a political charac-
ter. In New York the general secretary
of the New York City Club has on his list
the names OF ninety others. and he re =
ports great enthusiasm and activity on the
part of all these. In Ohio the republican
party is quite effectively organized on the
club plan and in Indiana and Vir-
ginia such organizations are being per-
fected and completed. In Iowa and sew
eral other States a good beginning has
been made. Such convention as is pro-
posed would he practically a convention
of representatives of the most active and
influential republicans of the country. and
might be found very beneficial in promot-
ing the discussion OF leading political is
sues. and in crystalizng publ, sentiment
on the vital principles on which the ma
tional campaign must be fought next year.
The tendency to organize in the form of
clubs is healthy one, since thereby the
sympathies and activities of young men
are enlisted-a class to whom the re-
publican party must look for its victories

who applaud such feats and give all the
encouragement in their power to those
who are willing to undertake them. In
. certain sense there is responsibility
resting upon those men who incite hair
Drained fellows to almost certain de-
structlon. They occupy just about the
same position as do the owners OF
bulldogs and fightiDg-cocks. when they
pit their fighters for the amusement of
british men. They may be called sports
men but that term is decidedly disgraced
by such use. They should be completely
ostracised from the companionship of re-
spectacle men and dealt with even by law
as answerable for the reckless acts of
their irresponsible fellows.

Should these matters receive correct rep

Judge Barrett, who is presiding over
the trial of Jacob Sharp in New York. has
been very patient with all the delays at
tending the selection of jury. but his
patience is evidently wearing out at last
and his formal announcement that he
will fine every man who may ignore
the summons to appear for examination
to serve as a juror,is warning which few
of those to whom it applies will care to
neglect The fact that but few more than
half of the 1000 citizens summoned for APP
pearance have responded TO the process, in
dicates discouraging Indifference to the
authority of the courts, and if Judge
Barrett by his resort to heroic measures
inspires a livelier appreciation of its
obligations. he will have accomplished a
reform not less desirable than the just
verdict which he seeks in the case of Jake
Sharp.

The latest advices from London indicate
that the coercion bill will pass. Gladstone
has expressed it his opinion that obstruc-
ton should be abandoned as such meas
ures if carried farther may prove very
disadvantageous. Much will be deter
mined however by the position that the
Parnellites finally take. A union of the
liberal factions in regard to an Irish policy
may be looked for.
